    "A five-minute walk from Mojiko Station, this museum introduces the history, culture, and nature of the Kanmon Straits, including the ""Straits Atrium"" where visitors can experience history through fantastic sound and light, the ""Straits Historical Corridor"" where dolls from historical dramas such as the Battle of Dannoura and the Duel at Ganryujima are on display, and the ""Straits Retro Street"" that recreates Taisho-romantic buildings and streetcars. From the exhibition room on the 4th floor, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the Kanmon Straits."

    ノーフォーク広場から門司港レトロ地区の方向に歩いて向かっている途中にありました。出光興産の創業者の方が集めていたコレクションを展示している美術館なのだそうで、陶磁器などの展示が多かったです。また創業者の生涯を紹介するスペースもありました。
